    I'm still learning about the Deaf community, that's why I said I wasn't sure how useful my input would be. :)

    Who got snow?

    I live in the Northern Indiana snow belt, so I got a bunch of Lake-effect snow through the night. Got about 8" total. Where I go to school, they got even more and cancelled classes today. Driving home yesterday was just a mess! We'll see what happens tomorrow.

    Need your help to make astronomy accessible

    Wow! I really wish I had something to offer here, as I just love planetariums (live "near" Adler in Chicago), astronomy, etc., but I'm not Deaf. Have you tried locating an Interpreter and bringing your programs to the attention of the local Deaf/ASL community? I'm in my third semester of...

    What kind of animals do you have?

    Got one gray & white elderly domestic shorthair cat, one orange & white middle-aged Maine Coon cat, a Basenji-terrier mix dog, and an aquarium full of fish. Plus I'm a birder, so I have a bunch of bird feeders and a heated bird bath on the deck out back.

    How do get your dog to take pills?

    They also make pill cutters that slice the pills in half. You can probably find them in any drug store. Then the pill halves are smaller and will hide easier. My dog is very food oriented and will take food without question! If he finds the meds and spits them out, he's relatively easy to...

    Am I the only one bothered by this?

    Yeah, there sort of is. They aren't worn in Beauty Pageants. Famous people who are in the "beautiful" crowd and wear them normally, don't wear them in photo shoots. There's a saying "Guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses." It might be mostly unspoken, but it's there.

    Question abt "My Deaf Family" Show.

    I wish they'd just put the show on and watch the ratings. Whoever wants to watch the show will watch it. Isn't it already in production? Haven't episodes already been made? So put it on and see what the ratings do. If it isn't "proiftable," take it off. :roll: But if it is...

    who on this sites have native americans bloods in them?

    1/16 Cherokee. My father could use the language, and gave me the name Kamama, which means butterfly. Funny, I didn't know that until I was 19 (he left when I was very young), but all the time I was growing up, I drew butterflies on everything! My dad ran away from home when he was 14. He said...

    LGBTQ rights

    I am 100% GLBTQ friendly. I am even now organizing our 2nd annual Freedom to Marry reception and candlelight vigil at my church to support marriage equality. BTW, all "marriages" are civil unions. They must be performed by someone recognized by the civil body (the state). So even a church...
